I have three that work great for me...a 7' Daiwa 4pc Presso UL W/Daiwa Legalis 1000 ($120)...a 7' Goture Exceed 4pc M/MF W/Pflueger P30 ($110)...a Fenwick Eagle 6'6" ML 4pc W/Pflueger P20 ($130).
Love the Fenwick. Very versatile, great looking with the blue Pres. and best case by far. The Daiwa needs more time, but so far it's top shelf except for a lousy shaped case. The Goture is slower than my St. Croix XF and is great for cranking, but also pretty versatile except for finesse.

What length(6'-9') and what kinds of fish are you targeting? These are telescoping rods.
If interested, email me at almoy@yahoo.com and I'll have suggestions for you.
Cost will be between $20-$35 depending on length. I have a half dozen 9'6" rods that I
take with me to Fiji and they fit in my suitcase with room to spare. My target fish are
jack crevalles(pompanos), barracudas and snappers.
